Abstract

Abstract A circuit arrangement wherein two output a.c. voltages having a mutual phase shift are derived from two input a.c. voltages. The mutually phase shifted output voltages are frequency independent and two phase shifting units included in the circuit are comprised of resistances and of reactances of the same kind, one of the phase shift units including a series connected reactance, and two resistances having a tap therebetween forming one terminal of one of the output voltages, and the other phase shift unit including a series connected resistance and two reactances having a tap therebetween forming one terminal of the other output voltage. The second terminal of both output voltages is constituted by interconnected taps on voltage dividers connected to the two input voltages.
